<p>Heading into the home stretch for the Jan. 14 Republican primary for the late C.W. Bill Young&rsquo;s House seat, Kathleen Peters is clarifying her platform and trumpeting her achievements. &quot;What can one mother and grandmother from Pinellas do to stop gridlock and fix Washington?&quot; asked Peters in a mailer we received on Jan. 8. Her answer: &quot;Lower taxes.&quot; &quot;When I was Mayor of South Pasadena, we actually reduced the property taxes we collected,&quot; the flier read. It then added, &quot;In fact, my city had the third lowest property tax rate of the 24 cities in Pinellas.&quot; Talking about reducing taxes ...</p> <a href="/florida/statements/2014/jan/10/kathleen-peters/kathleen-peters-says-south-pasadena-reduced-amount/">>> More</a>Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:04:13 -0500http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2014/jan/10/kathleen-peters/kathleen-peters-says-south-pasadena-reduced-amount/Kathleen Peters: Says David Jolly lobbied &quot;for government-run health care just last year.&quot;

<p>Republican hopefuls for the open 13th Congressional District seat have been spending time arguing about who opposes Obamacare the most. Kathleen Peters called a press conference on Dec. 19 to accuse rival David Jolly of promoting the health insurance law during his days as a lobbyist, even though he has said he opposes it. &quot;David Jolly claims that he opposes Obamacare, but that didn&#39;t stop him from lobbying for government-run health care just last year, when he made over $80,000 from special interests,&quot; Peters said. &quot;In 2012, David Jolly lobbied only one client in Florida, Faneuil Inc., which is a ...</p> <a href="/florida/statements/2014/jan/06/kathleen-peters/kathleen-peters-says-david-jolly-was-lobbying-gove/">>> More</a>Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:00:00 -0500http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2014/jan/06/kathleen-peters/kathleen-peters-says-david-jolly-was-lobbying-gove/Kathleen Peters: &quot;Since 2007 David Jolly has given almost $30,000 to keep Democrats in Congress!&quot;

<p>Republican 13th Congressional District candidate David Jolly&rsquo;s past as a Washington lobbyist was always a sure bet to be a bone of contention for rivals in the campaign for the late C.W. Bill Young&rsquo;s open seat. Kathleen Peters is more than happy to oblige. In a mailer sent to voters, Peters&rsquo; campaign declares, &quot;Since 2007, David Jolly has given almost $30,000 to keep Democrats in Congress!&quot; It then adds &quot;(But not a dime to Congressman Bill Young)&quot; before launching into a number of bullet points about how Jolly has supported his rival party. Lobbyists typically work both sides of ...</p> <a href="/florida/statements/2013/dec/27/kathleen-peters/david-jolly-gave-almost-30000-keep-democrats-congr/">>> More</a>Fri, 27 Dec 2013 10:05:59 -0500http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2013/dec/27/kathleen-peters/david-jolly-gave-almost-30000-keep-democrats-congr/
